In contrast to our German online group or individual courses, German Training Online is a tool to learn German online autonomously, without the involvement of a teacher. The training has been designed so that you can easily train on your own. Should you encounter any difficulties, helpful answers to your questions are provided in clear, understandable info boxes. German Training Online focuses on listening, reading and writing skills – speaking skills are not targeted in this training.

No, there is no certificate for completing German Online Training.

German Training Online currently offers levels A1, A2, B1, B2 and C1.  At present there is no training offered for C2 level.

Yes, after completing German Training Online you can follow on with one of our face-to-face courses (German Intensive or German Extensive) or with one of our online courses. It cannot be guaranteed that you can follow on with the next language level from your German Training Online level, as your training has not been monitored by a teacher. Our online online assessment test for these courses will ensure you are placed in the right course level for your ability. The cost of the online assessment test will be deducted from your course fees when you enrol on a course.

You learn without a teacher and practice independently doing many different exercises – for example, with videos, pictures, audios, reading and fill-in-the-blank texts. The exercises and formats are based on the exams of the Goethe Institute. If you would like to do specific exam preparation, however, we recommend our exam preparation course.

If you don’t know your level of German or are unsure which level is right for you, you can take a free placement test. To do this, follow the booking process. When choosing your language level, you can choose language level A1 if you are learning German for the first time, or you can book the free placement test. Depending on your result, German Training Online will then be activated at the level appropriate for you (A1, A2, B1, B2 or C1).

​To enrol in German Training Online – Level A1, you do not need any previous knowledge of German. To enrol in level A2, you require knowledge of German at level A1. To enrol in level B1, you require knowledge of German at level A2. To enrol in level B2, you require knowledge of German at level B1. To enrol in level C1, you require knowledge of German at level B2.

No, you do not have to go to an Institute. German Training Online is an online product that you can use from the comfort of your home or when out and about.

Firstly, please check your spam folder, as our emails sometimes get caught up there.  If the activation email is not in your spam folder, please log in to your account using your Goethe-ID on Mein Goethe.DE. 

Look under "MEINE KURSE UND PRÜFUNGEN" to see if Deutsch Training Online is listed. If this is the case, you can start immediately with your German Training Online. Should you be unable to see German Training Online, please have a little patience as in some very few cases it can take up to 24hrs for your German Training Online to be activated. Once activated, it is up to you when you want to start. You won’t miss anything, even if activation was delayed.

In the unlikely case that your German Training Online is still not activated 24hrs after enrolment, please contact us at
